Burlington Road, Thornton Heath, CR7

*** Vendors comments *** "This has been our home since 2016 and we have since welcomed our two children, now aged 2 years and 6 weeks! We fell in love with this very typical Victorian house, still full of period features nestled in a cul-de-sac with neighbours we’ve come to know by their first names. Most of the neighbours have been here for 20 years or are young parents like us. Our eldest has been learning to walk and cycle in our very private and safe resident-only street.

We spend a lot of time in our kitchen, which we recently renovated, having breakfast and looking at the birds feeding in the birds house. The garden is south facing with a generous stoned area which is perfect for long summer dinners with friends. We often invite our next-door neighbours who have been so fabulous from day one.

On the first floor, we have two beautiful, bright and airy double bedrooms where we have exposed the original floorboards and original fireplaces, adding more charm to our family home. There is also a huge bathroom perfect for the family. On the top floor, there is a beautiful en-suite with great views looking north and south over the surrounding area. Our daughter loves looking at sunrise and sunset from this room. This is also a perfect room for guests and a home office.

We also have one toilet on each floor totaling three toilets, which is a real find and especially practical for a family.

We absolutely adore this home and have been very happy getting the family bigger but we now need to move closer to family to allow grandparents to see their grandchildren more often. We really value being 20 minutes walk from either Thornton Heath or Crystal Palace stations allowing us to travel either via train or underground.

Thornton Heath had the best and most affordable cobbler across the station and a huge Tesco. The library is also quite a nice space to read or work from. Crystal Palace is known for the Triangle, which is a bustling treasure of independent boutiques and cafes and a great place to meet with friends and family. We have our very own Everyman Cinema and a couple of thriving pubs with great all-day breakfasts! We also have a brilliant artisan food market on a Saturday and another in the park on Sunday as well as a pirate radio with its own cafe!

The library is also lovely with a huge space for kids. We will dearly miss the Triangle; it is for sure one of the most special places in London."
